“It is fair to say that the front door of your home is quite possibly one of its most important features.” Sibbald says.  General home aesthetics,  safety and energy efficiency are all partially determined by the suitability of your front door, which remains the most likely method of home entry for burglars and a primary cause of increases in home energy bills.

Energy Efficiency

“If your front door is over 15 years old, poorly insulated or shows signs of damage, it may be contributing to increased energy costs in your home.” Sibbald explains. If this sounds like your front door, a brand new energy efficient door is the logical, aesthetic and economical choice.

It is a common misconception that replacing a front door will end up costing more than it saves in the long term.  How much you save will, of course, depend on the amount of money you spend on the door itself but you should know that there are a wide variety of energy efficient options available to fit almost any budget.
